Rosemarie Trockel
Moderna Museet, Stockholm
The innovative and versatile artistry of Rosemarie Trockel (b. 1952) has never previously been shown in it?s full width in Sweden. Partly educated at the Werkkunstschule in Cologne in the 70?s, this German artist set out, under the strong influence of Beuys and Marcel Duchamp, to examine the land-winnings made by viewing modern art from a female point of view. This viewpoint has proven to be self-reflecting, but also incisive, full of humour and versatility. The trivial meets the profound, face to face.
The coming Springs comprehensive, one-man exhibition, showing at Moderna
Museet highlights one of the most important and interesting young artists; one
among them who established themselves on the international scene during the
80?s.

Rosemarie Trockel was the official representative of Germany at the Venice
Biennale in 1999. Her piece ?Haus für Schweine und Menschen?, which she did
together with Carsten Höller at Dokumenta X in 1997, became a topic of
conversation.
Earlier this year she received the Kunstpreis München, one of the most
prestigious art awards in Germany. In connection with this, a separate show
with Rosemarie Trockel was put on in München, at Lenbachhaus/Kunstbau
under the title ?Kitchen?. For Trockel the kitchen is a workplace, a studio and a
creative environment where ideas are put to paper.
The core of the presentation at Moderna Museet is taken from that in München
The exhibition at Moderna Museet is a cooperative venture together with the
artist and the whole exhibition may be viewed as an installation. The exhibition
will consist of sculptures, videos, drawings and photographs.
The exhibition catalogue is a revised and expanded version of the catalogue
produced for the Munich exhibition. The original texts are in German and
English; texts added by Moderna Museet are in Swedish and English.
